The Monkees, Revisited
Douglas kept in touch with The Monkees and returned in 1969 to record his composition "Steam Engine", with Micky Dolenz on vocals. The song appeared in reruns of their TV show.
In 1976, Douglas re-teamed with Dolenz, Jones and Tork to record the single, “Christmas is My Time of Year”, co-written by Douglas and Howard Kaylan. By then, Nesmith was no longer affiliated with the group.
In 1986, a Monkees reunion tour reawakened interest in the band, and Rhino Records reissued all their original albums, including their work with Douglas.
Douglas has appeared in several documentaries about The Monkees, reminiscing about his work with the band.

Famous quotes containing the word revisited:
“And yet we constantly reclaim some part of that primal spontaneity through the youngest among us, not only through their sorrow and anger but simply through everyday discoveries, life unwrapped. To see a child touch the piano keys for the first time, to watch a small body slice through the surface of the water in a clean dive, is to experience the shock, not of the new, but of the familiar revisited as though it were strange and wonderful.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
